Economic Scenario

 

In 2015, the Chinese activity figures confirmed the country’s economic slowdown, adversely impacting the emerging nations due to its reduction in demand, especially for commodities. The Eurozone continued to recover, recording annual GDP growth of 1.5%, while the United States pushed up interest to 0.5% p.a., following signs of an economic rally. The IMF estimates global GDP growth of 3.4% in 2016 and 3.6% in 2017.

 

The U.S. economy posted growth of 0.7% in 4Q15, closing the year with GDP expansion of 2.4%. Household consumption, which corresponds to almost 60% of the country’s economic activity, had a strong impact on this result, moving up by 3.1% in the final quarter.

 

China registered the most modest GDP growth for the last 25 years, reaching 6.9% during 2015. Industrial production, a strong indicator of the country’s growth, climbed by 6.1%, versus 8.3% in 2014, reinforcing prospects of a slowdown in the short period.

 

Brazilian GDP fell by 3.8% in 2015, reflecting a scenario dominated by political and economic uncertainties. Industry shrank by 6.2%, led by the manufacturing industry, with a 9.7% downturn, while the service sector recorded a decline of 2.7%, influenced by the 8.9% reduction in commerce. Finally, agriculture and livestock recorded growth of 1.8%.

 

Household consumption fell by 4.0% over 2014, jeopardized by increased interest rates, inflation of 10.67% and a shrinking job market. According to the IBGE’s Monthly Employment Survey, unemployment reached 6.9% in December, the highest level since 2007.

 

The Central Bank’s Focus Report estimates a further GDP decline of 3,66% in 2016, accompanied by inflation of 7,31%.

CSN’s Consolidated Result

 

·         Net revenue totaled R$3,678 million in 4Q15 and R$15,332 million in 2015, 7% and 5% down on 3Q15 and 2014, respectively. The quarter-on-quarter decline was influenced by lower sales volume from steel and mining operations, while the year-on-year reduction was chiefly due to the lower prices practiced in the mining segment.

 

·         COGS amounted to R$2,912 million, 3% down on 3Q15, while annual COGS stood at R$11,800 million, 2% up on 2014, mostly due to the impact from the foreign exchange variation on steel operations.

 

·         Fourth-quarter gross profit totaled R$767 million, 18% down on 3Q15, while the gross margin narrowed by 3 p.p. to 21%. In 2015, gross profit amounted to R$3,532 million, 22% less than in 2014, while the gross margin fell by 5 p.p. to 23%.

 

·         Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) came to R$537 million in 4Q15, 2% higher than in the previous quarter, while annual SG&A expenses climbed by 29% over 2014 to R$1,883 million, chiefly due to higher freight expenses abroad.

 

·         Other operating income (expenses) was income of R$2,913 million in 4Q15, versus an expense of R$85 million in 3Q15. In 2015, this line was positive by R$2,391 million from income of R$3,726 million and expenses of R$1,334 million. Other operating income was impacted by the business combination gain totaling R$3,413 million, as explained in the “Business Combination” section.

 

·         In 4Q15, the proportional net financial result was negative by R$231 million, due to: i) financial expenses (excluding the exchange variation) of R$483 million; ii) the negative exchange variation result of R$48 million; iii) a negative R$140 million from hedge accounting and R$153 million from the derivative result and; iv) financial revenue of R$286 million. In 2015, the proportional net financial result was negative by R$2,265 million.

Debt

 

The adjusted values of EBITDA, Debt and Cash consider stakes of 60% in Namisa, 33.27% in MRS and 50% in CBSI until November 2015 and stakes of 100% in Congonhas Minérios, 37.27% in MRS and 50% in CBSI, from December 2015 on, as well as financial investments used as collateral for foreign exchange operations on the BM&FBovespa. On December 31, 2015, consolidated net debt totaled R$26,499 million, while the net debt/EBITDA ratio was 8.15x, based on LTM adjusted EBITDA.

 

 

 

Foreign Exchange Exposure

 

Net foreign exchange exposure generated by the difference in dollar-denominated assets and liabilities, contracted derivatives and hedge accounting booked by CSN totaled US$173 million on December 31, 2015. The derivatives contracted form a long USD position achieved through the purchase of NDFs (Non-Deliverable Forwards).  The hedge accounting adopted by CSN correlates the projected export flows in dollars with part of the future debt maturities in the same currency. As a result, the exchange variation of part of dollar-denominated debt is temporarily recorded under shareholder’s equity, being transferred to the income statement when the dollar revenue from these exports is received.

Capex

 

CSN invested R$2,170 million in 2015, taking advantage of opportunities to accelerate projects that enhance competitiveness, including:

 

·         The acquisition of new mining equipment, anticipating some of the investments scheduled for 2016 due to current favorable financing conditions. These items of equipment were already helping to reduce mining costs in 2015.

 

·         The accelerated development of the Arcos´ clinker kiln project in Minas Gerais, anticipating higher operating margins in the Southeast System.

 

·         Revamp of the Turbo Generator (TG20) in Presidente Vargas Plant, recovering the nominal energy capacity of 117MW in the TG20.

 

Of total investments, R$376 million went to spare parts and R$561 million to current investments.

Working Capital

 

In order to calculate working capital, CSN adjusts its assets and liabilities as shown below:

 

·         Accounts Receivable: Excludes Dividends Receivable, Advances to Employees and Other Credits (Note 6 of the financial statements).

 

·         Inventories: Includes Estimated Losses and excludes Spare Parts, which is not part of the cash conversion cycle, and will be subsequently booked under Fixed Assets when consumed. (Note 7 of the financial statements);

 

·         Recoverable Taxes: Composed only by the Income (IRPJ) and Social Contribution (CSLL) Taxes amount included in Recoverable Taxes (Note 15 of the financial statements);

 

·         Taxes Payable: Composed of Taxes Payable under Current Liabilities plus Taxes in Installments (Note 16 of the financial statements);

 

·         Advances from Clients: Subaccount of Other Liabilities recorded under Current Liabilities (Note 14 of the financial statements.

 

·         Suppliers: Includes Forfaiting and Drawee Risk (Note 2a)

 

As a result, working capital applied to the Company’s businesses totaled R$3,385 million in 4Q15, R$594 million less than in 3Q15, chiefly due to the R$802 million reduction in accounts receivable, while inventories rose by R$254 million. On the same comparison basis, the average receivable decreased by 16 days and the supplier payment increased by 4 days. The inventory turnover increased by 9 days.

Results by Segment

 

The Company maintains integrated operations in five business segments: steel, mining, logistics, cement and energy. The main assets and/or companies comprising each segment are presented below:

 

   

 

¹ Namisa’s former assets.

 

As of 2013, the Company ceased the proportional consolidation of its jointly-owned subsidiaries Namisa, MRS and CBSI. For the purpose of preparing and presenting the information by business segment, Management opted to maintain the proportional consolidation of its jointly-owned subsidiaries, as historically presented. For the reconciliation of CSN’s consolidated results, these companies’ results are eliminated in the "corporate/elimination expenses" column.

 

In order to report the Company’s 2015 results, after the combination of CSN’s mining assets (Casa de Pedra, Namisa and Tecar), the consolidated result includes all this new company’s information.

Mining

 

In 2015, the seaborne iron ore market remained under pressure due to the increased supply capacity in Australia and Brazil. The adoption of cost reduction programs allowed the juniors producers to remain in the market. On the demand side, the infrastructure and construction, major steel consumers in China, showed a significant slowdown. Therefore, the steel volume produced by this country dropped 2% in 2015, the first reduction in more than three decades. In this scenario, iron ore prices fell by 43% over 2014, averaging US$55.50/dmt (Platts, 62% Fe, N. China).

 

In the fourth quarter, the factors described above were intensified. The record offer was added to the historical lowest steel prices in China. The steel companies frequently accounted low liquidity, which weakened the seasonal stocking movement. In this context, iron prices fell by 15% to an average of US$46.65/dmt (Platts, 62% Fe, N. China).

  

Results from CSN’s Mining Operations

 

·  Record of iron ore production in 2015, totaled 27,866 thousand tonnes, 7% more than in 2014, of which 26,243 thousand tonnes was from Casa de Pedra. Fourth-quarter production came to 7,218 thousand tonnes, 9% less than in 3Q15, explained by the seasonality, and 3% above 4Q14.
